ENFIELD, N.H. —

Fish and Game officers are searching for a snowmobiler they said hit two dogs on a trail in Enfield and then took off.

Authorities said the dogs were struck while the owner was walking them on the Northern Rail Trail on Sunday afternoon. The dogs weren't on a leash at the time they were hit.

"Monty wasn't walking. We had to carry her in from the vehicle," said Dr. Dan Kelly of Veterinary Emergency Services. "We had to stitch her up. Jackson, the other dog, had soft tissue damage to the front legs. She was walking when she came in."

Kelly said the dogs are now doing fine. An investigation is underway to find the snowmobiler who hit the animals.

The accident was reported to the Fish and Game Department two days after it happened, so any evidence that might have been left on the trail is now gone, making it tough for investigators to figure out exactly what happened.

Investigators said they are relying on the dog owner for information, but they said she can't give too many details.

"We don't have a description of the person," said Sgt. Thomas Dakai. "She was focusing on dealing with the dogs at the time and didn't pay too much attention to that."

Dakai said it's hard to know who's at fault, but he said the driver should not have left the two dogs and their owner.

"We are hoping that this person will contact us so we can hear both sides of the story and conduct a fair investigation," he said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Fish and Game Department.

Dakai said anyone out on a trail this winter needs to be aware of their surroundings, and animals should be kept on a leash.

"It would prevent the majority of issues if owners were in control of their pets," he said.
